Oh I so hate that! That is one of my pet peeves. I make my kids taste something

before they can say they don't like it. As a military brat we lived off base in

Europe most of my childhood and if I wasn't open to trying new foods I would

have starved to death. In fact it was Italy where I first had blood oranges,

those are to die for, but so many of my friends won't even taste them because of

the name. The open air markets where you could buy everything from fresh produce

to tennis shoes were amazing. (Also even at an early age I became a gelato and

coffee snob! lol) I also had my first fried squash blossom there and those are

tasty! England is where I first had beans on toast, a very homey comfort food in

England and I enjoy it now from time to time. I love the barley water

concentrates they have (I can find them in Publix now!!whoohoo!!), Turkish

delight, and they are famous for their tea for a reason! (I LOVE cucumber

sandwiches and cress ones too!) I have to admit I developed a love for chips

with malt vinegar also if it was imprinted with news type so much the better lol

(I guess that doesn't age me to badly right?). Man just thinking about it is

making my mouth water! Germany I loved the hard rolls, mom said she used to

use those to comfort me when I was teething. (I was born there.) They have a

carrot salad type of thing made with celery root that is made with vinegar that

I adore. I crave that bad boy at times!! lol Even here in the states though

there is sooo much to value from our " melting pot " of goodies. We have refried

beans and tortillas, fried okra, okra and tomatoes, dandelion greens, poke

salad, collards (I use vegetable stock instead of chicken to make mine and I

like it even better, no meat added to mine either.), corn bread, tempura, apple

pie, perogies, matzo's, stir fries! I love all sorts of food and a good curry

makes my day! I even recently bought a new cookbook Native American Foods. No

it's not a vegetarian cookbook, but it does have some awesome recipes for what

is native to us. I love the three sisters, corn, beans, and squash! Come to

find out I have been eating fry bread all my life, just Gramma called it hoe

cake. lol (found out true hoe cake is made with corn meal and is flat, but

that's what she called it and it's amazing with a little sorghum!) Sorry for the

rant lol. I just can't imagine going through life not tasting it! (food and or

otherwise!)

I know two people in a group who both said they didn't like Indian food and

Hi Tee:

 

Another fellow military brat. We were stationed in England for three years,

and that's where I got my love of yogurt. It doesn't taste the same here as

it does there. I remember it being very tart. When I make my own, it's close

to the taste, but not exactly. Of course there's lemon curd--I can eat jars

of that. And I remember how the English drank milk in their tea--long before

I heard of people doing it Stateside.

 

I totally agree with you on the food issue. I love trying different types of

food. I love going to different ethnic restaurants. A few months ago we went

to an Afghan restaurant. It was sooo good. My next try will be Ethiopian. I

think of it like an adventure. I will probably never get to go to Ethiopia,

Thailand or India, but I can experience a bit of the culture. I hate it when

people sneer their nose at a particular food group. It's so rude.

 

As for Indian food, I love it! It's among my favorites (Thai is my

favorite). I love the way it smells. I tend to use a lot of Indian spices in

my cooking now.

 

My family is from Louisiana, so we're into soul food in a big way. It took A

LOT of coaxing, but I finally got my mom to stop cooking collards in fatback

or turkey necks. The way we do ours is a teeny bit of olive oil and a

bouillon cube or vegetable stock. I'm so happy that we now cook all my soul

food favorites without fatback or bacon. You can actually taste the food.

The two restaurants in our city are buffets. Go sample a few things. They

usually have signs telling what the food is. The buffets are not too spicy,

or at least these aren't. May not be haute cuisine but not very expensive

either.

 

Wasn't there a recipe for Tofu Paneer on this list a day or so ago. I know

I copied it from somewhere but haven't tried it yet.

I love new foods, old foods, spicy foods (tuned down so my gut doesn't go on

strike and my innards don't kink again). The only food I cannot stand in any

way, shape or form, is horseradish. Even the smell of it makes me violently ill.

Yes! A buffet, that's a great idea! There is a large population of east

Indians in my area (there's even a Hindu temple a couple of miles from my

home, you wouldn't guess at that in Kansas!) I had more east Indian

classmates in my high school graduating class than hispanics or

African-Americans (I'm sure that demographic has changed some, I graduated 8

years ago). I'm always seeing ads for Indian restaurants, I'll have to find

a friend who likes it and go!

I fell in love with yogurt in Italy. We used to take that with fresh season

fruits (I remember plums and peaches mostly) on hikes in the Alps. I totally

agree with you on the taste though. So much is not the same. Living in small

town dixie I haven't had a good gelato in years and years, and I'm sorry while I

enjoy the local coffee shops it's just not the same. We got our first publix

here just in the past few months. I had to travel into Montgomery for culture

and believe me while I love my southern roots dearly Montgomery isn't the place

to find culture. With the possible exception of the Shakespeare Theater.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, me, Mr. Kotter! Call on me!

 

Vegetable korma, which is a creamy vegetable dish. It's my favorite dish.

Also, samosas, which are like turnovers stuffed with potatoes and peas. I also

love aloo gobi, which is potatoes and cauliflower, and bengan bartha, an

eggplant dish. Also mushroom mattar, which is a creamy mushroom dish. And then

there's a creamy spinach dish, quite common in Indian restaurants, but I can't

remember what it's called. I think it's sag paneer. And raita, a savory yogurt

that I used to cleanse and cool down my palate. I just adore Indian food.

O wow are you in for a treat! My fave is channa masala wich is chickpeas in a

spicy red sauce, other faves are saag paneer which is spinach and cubes of very

mild cheese (paneer) and any kofta or korma because of the nice butter sauces.

I also love raita - a refreshing yogurt based sauce with grated cucumber in it,

and achar - pickle, as a condiment. Indian pickle is hot & sour & delicious!

 

Maybe try a buffet place for your first outing so you can try lots of different

tastes. Some Indian places offer a thali which is like your own personal buffet

all on one tray.

 

Have fun & enjoy whatever you try. I bet if you told the waiter it was your

first time, they'd make good suggestions.

 

Peace,

Diane
